Coachella Festival

Hello people! I hope each and everyone of you is having an amazing week so far. I’m really happy to feature on this post in Geek Q some of my pictures to my trip to Palm Springs this last weekend to attend the Coachella Music Festival. This festival, which I’ve been going to for the past 3 years, gathers some of the most important names of solo artists and bands in the music industry and attracts thousands of people each year to the California desert to become witnesses of one of the most massive and popular music festivals in the world. Music has always played a huge role in my life besides fashion. Being a music player myself, I’ve always been keen to attending many concerts in all types of environments. This passion was intensified after I moved to the US, since now I’ve got an even greater exposure to international artists and I have the means to pay for my own tickets. Almost every month there’s at least one concert I go to (whether it’s a small concert in a private Seattle venue or a huge show in an arena or stadium, it doesn’t matter). This is something that has become part of my lifestyle and I really enjoy doing.

As I mentioned earlier, last weekend my friends and I traveled to Palm Springs to attend the Coachella Music Festival in Indio, California. We had a total BLAST! There were some bands we saw that I really wanted to see for a long time, but just didn’t have the time to do it, such as Marina and the Diamonds, Clean Bandit, Florence + the Machine, Kiesza, and Hozier, among many others. We also heard some of the coolest mixes by some of the best DJs at the Sahara and the Mojave stages such as Alesso, David Guetta, Madeon, Kygo, and many more. And OMG after being to Coachella for 3 years, I finally had my first celebrity sighting! I don’t know where these people are usually hiding, but I had never seen a celebrity at Coachella until this year, when I saw Katy Perry dancing to Marina and the Diamonds in the VIP section. That totally made my day since I’m a big fan of her, but she was too well guarded and I couldn’t take a clean picture :(. Still overall, we had a great time and we enjoyed an awesome weekend of great music.

Fashion, of course, is another big component of the festival. Coachella is that place where you can really take risks with an outfit and wear something that might look totally over the top in any other situation. During the whole weekend I sported three outfits, which you can see down below. The first day I wore a tank top with the flag of the United States with my Topman denim shorts and my desert boots. It gets really hot during the day in the desert, so summer clothes are a must when attending Coachella (unless you’re Rihanna and you can rock this). On the second day, I wore my signature outfit for the event: a tribal print shirt with green shorts, Toms shoes, and a straw hat. I also included the neck bandana under the shirt, which is really trending right now. Finally, my Burberry shades completed the look. For the last day, I went for a sporty look of jersey shorts and tank top. I’m also wearing my Seattle Mariners cap and some white tennis shoes. What do you think? Which one of these three is your favorite outfit? Thanks to my friend Annie for taking these pics, you got some really nice shots.

In the end, we all had a great time in the desert and while we weren’t at the concert we enjoyed the sun and warm weather in our hotel’s pool. That’s exactly what I needed since I haven’t been to the beach in such a long time, so a pool was a good substitute. I’m quite positive I’m going back next year, because it has already become a tradition for us to attend this music festival and we always have the best of times all together. I want to thank my friends that attended Coachella with me (Valeria, Annie, Joe, Arturo, Courtney, Marc, and Brittany) for such an amazing time and I want to thank you my readers for taking the time to write your thoughts on the blog and on social media. I also want to thank LookBook for featuring me on their Instagram for a second time, your support has meant a lot to me and you have an amazing group of followers. Last but not least, remember to be stylish and to always put your best look forward. See you all next time!

Thank you Sofie! Your pics look so bomb as well, I really liked your blog :). I’m sure there is a music festival close to where you live and I 100% recommend trying to attend one of those, it’s a wonderful experience. And you never know, someday you might be visiting the US so keep the goal in mind :D.
